SBSB: Standard Babylonian (ca. 1000–0 BCE) — new attestation (not in AHw/CAD) [..]. ilpussuma irappuš ṣīssu GÚ.ZAL š[umšu] Sakikkû XXXIII 60 “[..]. it touches it(?) and its outgrowth enlarges(!) – guzallu [is its] n[ame]”. See also the partly abbreviated parallel BAM 4, 417: r 9′, which also contains elements from Sakikkû XXXIII 61 (both diagnose Ì.UDU GU₄ instead). GÚ.ZAL might thus represent a corrupt reading of an original Ì.UDU GU₄ = lipi alpi or an alternative rendering of it, understanding the form as a rebus-spelling zal-lu:gu₄; see for this interpretation Schmidtchen 2021, 187. new
